That's nonsense. This never happened. If you are going to make an extraordinary claim like that, take a moment to find a source.

- dtc 16y agoNo where in those articles does it state that making hamburgers has been treated as manufacturing. In fact the cbs article says "The report does not recommend that burger-flippers be counted alongside factory workers." There was a report that discussed definitions and how they affected things like tax breaks. The news articles had fun speculating how it would help labor statistics if they did start counting these as manufacturing jobs. But it was just speculation. Wild speculation.
- bugsy 16y ago"According to a White House report, new manufacturing jobs might be as close as your nearest drive-thru." is somewhat telling, as is the message in the report that if you agree you are a manufacturer, you get tax breaks. It's had an effect in what has been since classified as manufacturing. Here's a slide show regarding McDonalds' operations in India. http://www.scribd.com/doc/27447277/MC-DONALDS http://www.scribd.com/doc/27447277/MC-DONALDS Procurement of raw materials: •Vegetables from Ludhiana (Punjab) •Chicken from Mumbai (Maharashtra) •French fries from USA •Valla Mine fish from New Zealand PROCESS The food manufacturing process at McDonalds is completely transparent and the whole process is visible to the customers.
